Is anyone else really overwhelmed about where to get ret from?

[Atlanatpr]

I feel like there are so many vendors, and it’s hard to know what to trust and which one to try and which one has the best safety record and actually works. It’s also hard because you don’t really know who’s trying to sell you into a certain one. What’s the best way to navigate this?

R30 or above? I only ask since some of the R10, R15, and R20 seem problematic lately with getting cloudy with Hospira, with some vendors like GYC saying in advance that PBS may be required for recon. But I recently got some R10 from a no-name vendor (more for bulk/GB orders), and it was fine.

Outside of Uther and PGB, JEC seems to test well, from what I see, and I don't see any unusual complaints for them. No US warehouse though. They are on my radar since they are used by one of my GB groups. But not as much 3P for them for various things like endos and sterility, at least not over time compared to Uther and PGB.

I kind of feel like peptides suck you into buying or hoarding them as much as possible because you can’t imagine living without them. It’s a new addiction.

I don’t really know just vendors generally ideally R10. I heard that you’re more likely to get the same batch with that, which makes testing easier. I’m not sure though.

I’m addicted with the results for sure, But I wouldn’t say I hoard unless I know I might run out 😂

People call me stupid for not using crypto and using vendors here, but I would not want to be on the customs list.

I know a few "research" chem vendors that have been good for me.

I just wish there was a mass batch testing group that weren’t gatekeepers or something like that a way to feel more secure yk

I get your point. That's why I always tell myself that i m pretty much throwing money to strangers that don't care about me. Its a gamble and so far it has been working well for me.

I just saw this comment once somewhere that was like you’re playing Russian roulette with your body, and I can’t get that out of my head.

 

[Lear00]

Yah, It’s also hard to find testing groups to batch test then you have to negotiate what to test for and all that too

For me personally it’s easier as I only use Reta. I imagine it gets much harder the more niche properties you use.

If things go like this, I foresee a big-ass Indian looking guy in a fake customs uniform raiding and pilfering some peptide hoards.

Really I can’t even find any for Reta

Whoever said that didn't see my body before. Now that was Russian roulette!!!

 

[cloratheshadow]

I always recommend APS (Andy) I am using their Tirz and Reta and both have solid COAs and work great 🙂 they have solid pricing as well and really responsive

Feels like that in the beginning. I now have 4200mg of Tirzepatide in the Freezer and about 1800mg of Reta that I don't plan on using for a while coming in through group buys.

I think being fatter was cheaper.

I wouldn't call you stupid. I refer to the reseller prices as the newbie tax. 😁

Once you find a good vendor with a US Warehouse you can avoid the issues with customs. Issue right now with US warehouse is that they sell out in about 10 minutes once they make an announcement.

Now I know where a potential site for Indian larceny is gonna be? Indian Vikings gonna be the rage.

Even if true, there are more important factors at play, like with TFA salts. So personally, I would generally avoid anything under R30 unless you plan to be on a low dose for a long time.

 

[sheilarae74]

I was like that. So much anxiety. I spent weeks researching and finally I was like "fuck it" and picked one that had a low shipping threshold and halfway decent reviews and COAs. I think I did OK. They really know how to get their stuff through customs and I've already made it through one vial and didn't die.

Read the vendor reviews in here, focusing on the ones who have been around for a while. Put them on your shortlist. Then search the forum for other mentions of the vendors on your shortlist. See what people are saying in the discord and TG groups. Check vendor-provided COAs and see if there's a group test going on that you can join. After you've reconstituted, check that the solution is crystal clear and gel-free. If you're still suspicious, filter it. Inject a tiny dose and see how your body reacts over 24 hours. I'm not sure there's much more you can do beyond this.

And if you have never ordered for shipping direct from China before, maybe use a domestic vendor or a Chinese warehouse (if they are truly in stock). Unless you will not be on pins and needles for a month.

My first order from China was seized (last summer), but it was just a half kit with a group buy. Reshipped fine.

Do they say in vendor names if they are us based are they not here, or what?

Insane the reta issues the last monthish... now theyre selling tirz as reta. Gotta be intentional so they can sell ya R30 for 180 thats T30 and goes for 90.... so glad im done buying, cept for ss31 and mots. Wasnt always this ridiculous....

Not in their names. Check out the vendor sections and most of the time they will have it in post titles.

 

[Calm Logic]

Incidentally, the current GB price is $60 for R10, and as low as $120 for R30, including testing for endos and sterility. But for my reta collection, I have been eyeing single vials of reta too, such as by PGB, Uther, and Lobster.

Mr. Calm Logic... How does one get in on that sort of thing?

Even just one invite to a GB group on TG can open a lot of doors since some of the GB groups have a section where they post invites/promos for other GB groups.

How to get the first invite: make friends with peptide people on TG.
